I've labeled myself "Product Developer" for years already. Therefore Spec-Driven-Development feels quite natural to me. And while it took me some time to adjust to the changes in Software Engineering, I started to enjoy agentic, self-documenting, self-improving, AI workflows.

Offensichtlich ist steigende Gewalt gegen Mitglieder der 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ Community ein Problem, wie bei vielen Veranstaltungen im Osten oder gerade erst wieder beim CSD in Berlin geschehen. Doch Linke sollten nicht nur auf die Rechtsextremisten aufmerksam machen, sondern auch auf Islamistische Fanatiker.

1. Volle Solidarität mit Collien Fernandes! 2. Was Ulmen tat, ist kein Fetisch, es ist abartig kaputte Scheiße. Und eine Straftat! 3. Männer: wenn ihr andere Männer hört, die eine solche Tat oder sexualisierte Gewalt relativieren, sprecht laut und deutlich aus, dass es abartig kaputte Scheiße ist.

Weil die "KI" Unternehmen alle Hardware kaufen, wird der "du bekommst nur noch ein dummes Terminal und musst alle relevante Infrastruktur mieten" Trend noch weiter angeheizt. Hardware wird nicht nur teuer, sie wird komplett unzugänglich. Da hilft uns dann auch keine Open Source Software mehr.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

AWS-East is down and many online services are struggling. The card payment service of the café I was in stopped working as well. And here in Spain this is a massive issue, as many people are not carrying any cash anymore. I bet cash-loving Germany won't even notice. 😄

Why is it so hard for people to realize they are voting against their own interests? A lot of (social) media consumed in EUrope is strongly influenced by Russia or (more recently) US-based actors which are working on destroying the EU, to rid themselves of this large force of peace and regulation.

Wenn es jetzt möglich wird, über Gaza zu reden, kann vielleicht endlich über den Umgang mit den Protesten hier geredet werden. Die oft pauschalen Diffamierungen von Palästinenser*innen. Die Feigheit vieler Unis, die sich nicht vor ihre Studierenden gestellt haben, wenn die mit absurden..

Es ist gut, dass sich der Wind in Deutschland ein bisschen dreht und sagbar wird, dass in Gaza Menschen leben, hungern, sterben. Etwas kritische Selbstbetrachtung derer, die das jetzt endlich sagen, würde nicht schaden. Auch hier leben Palästinenser*innen und es ist kaum Vertrauen übrig.

Which #Mate would you chose?
Two bottles, one of "Mate Mate" the other of Coca-Cola with the word "Mate".

Which might mean a South American tea... though the other Coke bottles had words like "Family", "Friend"... written on them.

While POTUS has not the power to repeal these laws, he is working hard on stripping every non-white person from their rights. It's time for the divided states to unite and fight against this shift back into apartheid. And for the EU to prepare for boycotting the US.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

AI coding mandates are driving developers to the brink
Under pressure to embrace AI, developers are growing frustrated by misguided mandates and are left to clean up any collateral damage inflicted on their codebase.

Konservativ-bürgerliche Wähler haben bei der Bundestagswahl 2025 nur noch schlechte Auswahlmöglichkeiten, scheint mir. Sozial-links-grüne Wähler haben hingegen eine (zu?) große Auswahl an Parteien, die noch nicht durch überbordenden Populismus, Rassismus oder Menschenfeindlichkeit aufgefallen sind.

Jetzt ist die Zeit der CDU/CSU Parlamentarier, Parteimitglieder und Sympathisanten gekommen, um Farbe zu bekennen. Brandmauer oder schwarz-blau? Ich bin mir (leider) sicher, daß viele Konservative den rechts-populistischen Kurs mittragen werden. Gerne oder zähneknirschend macht keinen Unterschied.
